Has anyone tried this and seen if it works. I would be so happy if this works. I've had this problem for 3 years and have had my brakes sensors, pads, and just about everything changed multiple times only to have the sound come back after about 1-2 months every time.

What's worst is that this is probably the second biggest issue with this car other then the High Fuel Pressure Pump, but unlike that problem BMW just ignores this problem because there is no liability on them just because your car makes a squeaking sound unlike the fuel pump issue.

I can't begin to explain how much money(now that its off warranty) and time I have wasted to bring my car in to change everything and the dealership saying everything should be fine now, only to hear the same noise after about a month. So the end solution has been to just ignore the noise and hope no one else can hear it.

Just brought my car to the dealership this morning for this very squeaking brakes issue, although mine sounds like its coming from the front (its not pads for sure), and its LOUD after a bit of driving when the rotors heat up.

I have the same squeaking problem. The e-brake assembly is a poor design IMO. I've never had this kind of problem in my other nissans. Dealership tried to adjust it, and it still squeaks lol. I think these guys have no idea.

just wrapping this up now, I'll follow up and let everyone know how it turns out.

Were you able to solve the issue as well? The OP seems to have solved the problem. Just wanted to see how many others were successful with this remedy. I'm sure more stories of success would have others attempt the same remedy.

Still under warranty...we will see what they do.

HI there, yeah me too, My front pads and rotors were replaced lately and the squaking noise is coming from the front. Specially after they heat up like you mentioned. Let me know the outcome. Thanks

Other threads have "concluded" that the squeaking could also be coming from the brake wear sensors. Is this a different squeaking?

I have squeaking too, and it always happens after you brake and let off the brakes for the first 20-30mph from take off. I'm hopefully going to the dealership next week, since I'm still under CPO warranty and I'll mention both problems to them, hopefully they can fix it (permanently).

9 time out of 10 its going to be your sensors. Passenger side rear and driver side front. I just replaced my breaks and sound is gone. Now if it comes back in few months going to have shop pop the sensors out and see if that works. Shop manager mentioned that BMW had poor design with the sensors and I believe it.

I was actually just going to post in here regarding the same ongoing issue. My car is at the dealer now. I brought my 335i in 3 times 8 months ago and they replaced the front pads after much hassle. That was when I was under new car warranty. Long story short, the awful squeal is now back. My service guy told me that they won't replace them since there's 8k left on them and I'm out of warranty. He suggested new pads and new sensors. Please help as I don't know if my alternate bodyshop can do this new method.

they replace 3 time on my car still have the sound,9k miles on the front,22k on rear and last a month ago 33k on the front again. still no answer for it.

This might be easier for me to try first. It's good to inspect the brake pads the old fashioned way, anyway.

Thanks for the info, by the way.

No my squeal still exists even with the brake sensor out. The squeal comes from both rear wheels after all. Had a friend walk next to my car after i removed the sensor and said it was comin from both rears.

Hey guys just finished doing this with my friend who knows brakes. My brakes squeal on acceleration 1-20mph really bad and after doing this it has really tamed the squeal but it does not completely rid of it as the points will need to be re-lubricated every now and then.
